Law School Ranks in Top 10 For Diversity

The Princeton Review's 2006 edition of the Best 159 Law Schools ranked Davis in the top 10 for "Best Environment for Minority Students" and "Most Diverse Faculty." The rankings are based on the percentage of the student body that is from underrepresented minorities, a student assessment of whether all students receive equal treatment by fellow students and the faculty, regardless of ethnicity, the percentage of the law school faculty that is from a minority, and a student assessment of whether the faculty comprises a broadly diverse group of individuals.

The Princeton Review is known for its annual college rankings based on surveys of students attending the schools. The annual release of the rankings generates a surge of attention and awareness of featured schools.

The Princeton Review profiles UC Davis as a supportive law school environment. One student is quoted as describing the faculty as working diligently to build confidence and analytical skills in students rather than to send students screaming from the room. Another student comments that students are respectful of opposite points of view and usually continue the debate long after class is over. And regarding the quality of life, one student says it's so high that many of the 3Ls never want to leave. Link to The Princeton Review.
